Greg Walden: “The Kelsey Smith Act is already law in 22 of our states including in my own state of Oregon, where it passed in 2014.”

I want to make sure that it is a responsible way for all parties, which is why a number of us are very concerned about the administration's recent support of the waiver to release and transfer the IP for the vaccine.

I don't have any other speakers on my side. I encourage Members to support this really important legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no other speakers on my side of the aisle. It is good legislation, bipartisan. It should become law. I urge its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank my friend and colleague from Illinois for her support of this legislation and her work on it. Once again, I urge passage of the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
